Brain Injury Services hosts annual reception to recognizes our partners, clients, and volunteers.
SPRINGFIELD, VA (March 8th, 2019) — On March 20th, Brain Injury Services invites you to join us to recognize all those who give back to our organization and community through the year. With a spirit of hope and generosity, clients, survivors, family members, and local partners spend hundreds of hours each year making an impact on their lives through volunteerism and philanthropy with Brain Injury Services.
Every nine seconds, someone in the United States sustains a brain injury while in Virginia, more than 168,000 Virginians are disabled as a result of a traumatic brain injury.
“One day, we hope to have the resources possible to care for everyone in our community who is in need and eligible,” said Denise Hyater. “We would not be able to accomplish our mission without the support of generous volunteers and partners, so we look forward to a night of celebration for all they have accomplished.”

Date: Wednesday, March 20th, 2019

The theme for this year is: “Whatever good things we build end up building us,” Jim Rohn.
“Our theme this year is such a great representation of the work we do every single day,” explained Michelle Thyen, Director of Community and Volunteer Engagement. “Our volunteers, partners, and supporters are building blocks for our survivors in their journey; however, in the process of working through their journey, their resilience and determination winds up building us.”
